Crazy Texas Weather

Gomphrena
Just because we have crazy weather doesn't mean we can't work in the garden. The pictures taken in the rain and afterwards were a little more colorful than in full sun. What a pleasant surprise. I was able to work between showers......planting some gomphrenas, a bulbine, a Henry Duelberg salvia, a lovely basil (I love the smell!), and some dill, fennel and rue for the butterflies.
